Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the new integrated terminal building of Veer Savarkar International Airport at Port Blair on July 18 via video conferencing.
Featuring a shell-shaped architecture that depicts the sea and islands, Veer Savarkar International Airport’s architecture is inspired by nature.
The airport design was structured keeping in mind the ecological aspect of the island and some of the sustainability features includes like a double insulated roofing system to reduce heat gain, and skylights to provide maximum inlet of abundant natural sunlight during day time to reduce artificial light usage inside the building.
With a cost of around Rs 710 crore, the new integrated terminal building will play a key role in improving connectivity on the island.
The terminal is a total built-up area of around 40,800 square meters and is capable of handling about 50 lakh passengers per year.
